Line 61:
* [[Jesus Saves]]: He also kicks ass in a chariot with a bow and arrow.
* [[The Legions of Hell]]
* [[Liberty Over Prosperity]]: Satan would rather reign in [[Hell]], than serve in [[Heaven]], and his minions go right along with him. They are all in a literal [[Self
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: The name "Lucifer" literally means "light bearer" in Latin. Satan's pre-Fall appearance (when he was still God's right hand angel) is described as being absolutely radiant and magnificent.
* [[Male Gaze]]: Yes, in literary form, with Eve. Repeatedly.
Line 83:
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Delivered by Abdiel to Satan before the battle begins in Book 6.
* [[Rebellious Rebel]]: Abdiel.
* [[Red Right Hand]]: The devils are all marred somehow by the Fall. Belial actually uses the phrase to refer to God's anger, a [[Shout
* [[Revenge By Proxy]]: Satan can't hurt God, so he'll go after His beloved Adam and Eve instead.
* [[Satan]]: Generally read as either a [[Byronic Hero]], an [[Anti-Hero]], or just a [[Villain Protagonist]]. Maybe more than one.

* [[Scaled Up]]: A seminal example -- Satan turns into a large snake when tempting Eve with the Forbidden Fruit. He also (involuntarily and temporarily) turns into a snake in Hell when cursed by God, as do the [[Legions of Hell]].
* [[Science Is Wrong]]: Subverted. Milton accepts the Copernican view, though he recognizes the theological value in the geocentric one.
* [[Self
* [[Shapeshifting]]: The devils can do this.
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: God, when He forces himself to let mankind fall.
